EMACS - Editor too large
Those are both pretty funny!
BTW, Epsilon (that 250KB Emacs that I was raving about) not only runs under
Windows, it also runs under Linux, Mac OS, FreeBSD, etc. Here:

I can't say enough good things about it (hence my 30-year addiction to it).
If you want an Emacs clone that is very small; very fast; and wildly
extensible and modifiable (it comes with almost all the source), in C
(effectively); this is the one.

That word, effectively, is an important one. Being so small, I expected the
editor to lack a scripting language. I was pleasantly surprised that it
does have one, and that it's a c derivative rather than lisp, a fine
language but not my favorite one. "Extensible and modifiable" doesn't
always mean the same thing to everyone, and well, you're a kernel hacker.
I must try this...
